Great Egret in flight


The picture of this Great Egret in flight was taken at the Oceanside Marine Study area. The picture of this Great Egret in flight was taken with the CANON EOS 7D and the CANON 100-400 lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
The Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society, one of the oldest environmental organizations in North America. Audubon was founded to protect birds from being killed for their feathers.

Clapper Rail


The picture of this pair of Clapper Rails was taken at the Oceanside Nature Center in Hempstead New York. The picture of this pair of Clapper Rails was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

I was pleased to be able to get a picture of a pair of rails considering how difficult it is to get a picture of this very shy bird.
